It got repetitive. Let me some up. No rain: things happen to the finches and certain types are selected. Lots of rain: things happen to the finches and certain types are selected. #no spoilers on what. It was interesting the quotes from Darwin and the implications on modern results. As a non-scientist, it dragged on a little to much for me to follow.
